Past CoCoDA Newsletters

CoCoDA was founded in 1992, just after the signing of the Peace Accords that ended the 12-year civil war. Our roots, however, extend back into the 1980s to the work of Building with the Voiceless, CoMADRES, FENESTRAS, and El Rescate—four Salvadoran-led initiatives that supported the resettlement of communities in conflictive zones and advocated for a negotiated end to the war. Since that time, CoCoDA friends, supporters, and delegations have worked for, with, and alongside the Salvadoran people. Browse our newsletters from the past two decades to learn about our long experience in El Salvador and the many projects we have worked on throughout our history.
